I don't want to troll or anything, but your situation is called " epic fail! "

it's called bad luck, the words epic and fail have lost all meaning over the last 3 years

Consider the ocean waves, and how the moon's force guides them this way and that across the earth's surface. Human life is an insane coincidence. We are an instance of the universe becoming conscious of itself, yes, old news but always worth review.

Enjoy your adventures in Sanctuary!

FAQ

Why was I selected to participate in the beta test?
We have selected beta participants at this time from current players of our existing games who have opted in to the beta, and who have also shown a long-standing interest in Blizzard games.

Can I pass on this invitation to a friend?
Because the players who are receiving this opportunity have had their Battle.net accounts individually identified for Diablo III beta access, this invitation is not transferable.

My friends are also Blizzard gamers -- can you invite them too?
The number of players we invite is based on our testing needs. If during the course of testing we determine we need more players to participate, we'll invite more and we hope your friends will be among them!

How do I get started with the Diablo III beta?
Please refer to the separate email which you should have recently received for all the information you need. If you are having problems locating the invitation email, check spam and trash folders in your email client. Alternatively, you can log on directly to the Battle.net account management page and download the beta client from there.
